Default Help Overclocking Radeon 4200

Trying to overclock my onboard while my 4890 is being RMAd.

I'm using Windows 7 and I can't find a program that'll overclock my onboard.

If I open GPU-Z, it takes a really long time to load and when it does, everything is pretty much empty in the info blocks.

I also can't run 3dmark vantage; it'll just stay at the loading screen and never runs the test.

I tried rivatuner, but the overclock button doesn't appear on it. Is there a way to overclock this onboard gpu?

Might not be able to OC it by much. Have you tried the AMD GPU Clock Tool yet?

You can overclock the memory in your BIOS but I don't know about the core clock speed.

I can only overclock the core clock speed in the bios and nothing else (starts at 500).

I'll try that amd clock tool now. With my onboard, is it fine if I just install the 9.9 catalyst manager like I did with my 4890? I did it, but I get no improvements than having no gpu driver installed.

Just noticed that the vga driver was with the driver package on the gigabyte site. Does anyone know what kind of performance I should be getting on games with it? At the stock speeds I can't find anything that'll run without lagging badly.

I wouldn't even bother gaming with it. I tried my 3200 series one on UT3 which gets great FPS on like every graphics card and was getting 30ish but it wasn't smooth.

Just trying to push it for a while while my 4890 is being RMAd. I overclocked it to 750Mhz from 500Mhz and it games run pretty good if I reduce the resolution and tone down some settings.
